about our Care philosophy
We provide comprehensive and specialized care supports for older adults and seniors experiencing behavioural, cognitive, emotional, physical and social challenges related to dementia, mental health, substance abuse and related neurological challenges. We work with each individual in developing strategies to make everyday living more manageable and productive.
We believe every individual has the right to exceptional care and support from knowledgeable professionals. We provide an onsite assessment and consultation that will create a care plan that will be implemented by a senior care specialist.
Our focus is to reduce stress associated with aging and promote overall mental health and well being for all members involved with our care team.
Our commitment is to promote the dignity of each individual and celebrate each person’s competencies while enhancing their abilities and strengths.

I was very fortunate to meet Shirlea Crook. Shirlea was recommended to me by the retirement home and after meeting her I decided to let her meet Mom. The change in Mom was amazing.
